(5) “Perfect Harmony” (Ruth 2:17-23)
Dr. W. Jamie Kim
I. What Naomi Did
She tried to take care of it with her human strength (1:6-13)
But later she turned to God (2:20)
Consequently she affirmed what God was doing (1:13, 20-21, 18)
II. What God Did
He orchestrated the circumstances (1:6, 22)
He provided perfect timing (1:22)
He prepared people (1:16, 2:1)
III. What Helped
Good relationship helped
Love for the mother-in law helped
Submission to the mother helped
The life Ruth lived (deeds), not just the words definitely helped.
